Muslim patrols in London on You Tube telling anybody with alcohol not to drink it in Muslim areas [ which is not always appreciated ]They also disapprove of women who dress inappropriately because in Islam they have to be modest when ever they are out in publicAm surprised you dont know this as a Conservative though it wont be happening in your Islington which is also Corbyns constituency

Drinking alcohol outside and on LT services has been prohibited for a number of years now, so the above shouldn't be contended and is therefore irrelevant.. unless your a homeless drink, that is.

They also disapprove of women who dress inappropriately because in Islam they have to be modest when ever they are out in public

I've never dressed/don't dress inappropriately (which is not solely reserved for the Muslim faith) but more reflective of my Roman Catholic/strict Caribbean upbringing, so them preaching to the converted is not just unnecessary but insulting.

Does a female (or a male for that matter) appreciate being approached at night? Are we not entitled to our personal space in public, as well as they? Social etiquette in public spaces is one thing, but so is preserving ones' right for ones' personal space in the public arena.

I am surprised you do not know this as a Conservative though it wont be happening in your Islington which is also of course Corbyns constituency

So are you saying that the incident was more 'roving creep' than 'sharia patrol'?

Corbyn and Khan are close, and Khan has been very visible in the Constituency of late.. asking residents of their concerns and local needs, so I'm not going to make a judgement call too hastily.

Unlike most american females, most American males are actually grateful for attention from the other sex.

So he appreciated my (negative) response? Cool..

In a social setting, yeah sure.. on a semi-deserted street approaching midnight? Nah ta!

I don't disagree with their sentiment, but in the way they are going about it.. the laws on prohibition have changed since those videos were uploaded, but there are still aspects of the streets that need to be cleaned up.

Neighbourhood Watch and Sharia Watch.. sound like one and the same, but mummy told us not to talk to strangers, and talk to strangers we don't.. heck, I don't even talk to anyone most days because I don't want to, and that is my prerogative to have.
